w Weber stated this forenoon that the
claim OF his father William Weber, as
one OF the heirs to plot OF land. sixty
Six acres in extent, located III New York
city south OF Cana! street, has been
proven. The said plot, which is now
studded with massive blocks of build
ings, was bought in 1896 by Wilfred
Weber, of Holland, who settled on
Ianhattnn Island short time previous.
IN 1917 1ir. Weber leased the land to a
kinsman, Wilfred Weber, Jr., for 300
years. IF Weber's father is Of the sew
enth generation Of Weber ST., who
originally owned the land. On the ex-
piration of the lease in 1874 the land
naturally reverted TO the descendants of
the original Wilfred Weber. For a
few years past William Weber and other
descendants have been busily engaged
proving they were direct descendants
of the first owner. Now it is proved,
there will be meeting of the heirs in
New York on January Goth to complete
the arrangements for getting posse ssion.
The property is valued at $20, 100000.

The Medical Examining Board.

Ia the k'4itoY Of the Dispatch:
see from the lettars in your paper
there is some excitement over the
medical Examining Boards" Would
like to give my views. 1t is well to have
our examining boards, but I think they
ought to be allowed to give any appli-
cant q certificate upon which he can
obtain "a license. provided such applicant
has diploma from college which the
board recognizes. If the college
from which the applicant has
received his diploma is one which
is not worthy of recognition, then
require him to be put to the test.
/ his Board OF Examiners is a new thing
in Virginia, and like all new methods IS
crude aud Liable 10 do harm. The most
thoroughly posted medical men | ever
met theoretically. have as a rUle proved
to be poor practitioners. \ medical
man must have certain amount OF IN
formation relative to his profession, bat
with all the information he can possibly
obtain unless he has UOfhcr-'cI or COM
nonsense, his knowledge will be of no
avail. OF all the fools, the educated ones
exceed. bow often has it happened in
all these years that any doctor in this
state has been indicted for malpractice 4?
When was one ever convicted ? To get
diploma in medicine costs not less than
1000. TO commence the practice Of
law what is required? Nothing so FIR
as colleges OF diplomas are concerned.
An applicant for this branch of business
has only to read short time at home
and 90 before three sleepy judges q put it
chnntabIy) aid get his certificate. The
people are not all fools they can much
more readily and quickly detect whether
a physician is competent than can ell Of
your Examining Boards" and as an
old practitioner / would he glad to see
this law wiped OF the statute-books Of
our State. j. +. II.
